1.A vessel's shell has an internal radius of 36". At the design temperature, the material's allowable stress is 15,000 psi. The pressure on the shell is 158(static head is already included). The joint efficiency is 1.0.
a) Determine the minimum required thickness for the shell.
b) If the above 36" measurement is the outside radius, determine the minimum required thickness for the shell.
c) If the shell is spherical and thick, determine the minimum required thickness for the sphere.
2.A vertical vessel has an internal radius of 48". The material's allowable stress is 12,000 psi. The MAWP of the vessel is 120 psig. The welds are "double welded" and the nameplate mentions spot radiography. The top of this shell section is 4' from the top of the vessel, and the bottom of this shell section is 52' from the top of the vessel. Determine the required thickness.
3.A horizontal vessel has an outside diameter of 10'. The material's allowaple stress is 14,000 psi. The MAWP of the vessel is 120 psig. The welds are Type-1 and Full-RT was performed. Determine the minimum required thickness.
4. The thickness of each part is 0.500". The allowable stress of the material is 15,000. The joint efficiency is 1.0 and the inside diameter is 60". Calculate the maximum pressure for each part:
a)2:1 Ellipsoidal Head: psi
b) Torispherical Head: psi
c) Hemispherical Head: psi
d) Cylinder: psi
e) Sphere: psi
State which shape is the best for containing pressure and which shape is the worst for containing pressure.
